John Grisham, shame on you!

Josh Jack, Ben & Stephen at the airport. Ben is heading back to Utah!

Matt, Josh and Stephen at the Cleveland County fair.

Jordan (Reece's close friend, she just had her first child) Sherry and OUR Sherece, this was probably at the Cleveland Country FAir.

Steve, Marks dead -eye buddy and cousin, with his daughter Megan.

Most folks know I read a lot. I very seldom pay full price for a book. So I do not feel bad at anyone who does not pay full price for my books. BUT heading out on the cruise awhile back Sherry passed a JOHN GRISHAM book, his latest, “The Appeal’. She bought it. When she finished it she was not happy with John.

Well many times she does not like it when an author gets into too much technical stuff (even me), I figured that was the problem. Huh uh. I just finished the book. I am not a happy camper. John, fiction is supposed to END RIGHT, the bad guy is supposed to lose and the underdog is supposed to win. I know, I know reality is the name of the game. Not for me. I see reality all day every day; I want some fiction when I read. John let the bad guy win! Shame on you John. No, I won’t quit reading Grisham, I love his writing. We have read EVERY book he has written. I was not happy with ‘Skipping Christmas’, and I thought ‘The painted House’ fell a little short for John. But they were not court room dramas as most of his are. ‘The painted house sorta grew on me after reading it, I even liked it better as time, months, even years went on’. But this one John! Made me MAD! I don’t know whether I will like it tomorrow or not.
I feel better. LOL. I know John is going to read this ha!

I must confess to some of you who were wondering about RAGS, the blog. Yes that is his blog. It will not be around long, I just had an idea, fueled by another author. My mistake was the obvious name, huh? I thought of Toby.

Toby’s Tales, a book of short stories, is scheduled out in about eight months. At present Toby is an ancient turtle who relates stories learned in his lifetime. Toby comes from a Blogger from Texas who had a friend named Toby. I have always wanted to do a book of short stories. I am going to do ‘Sticky’s Stories’ and ‘Toby’s Tales’. Toby will be first.
Thanks for coming this way!

Some things to ponder:

******Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies)
*****Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.
***After 60, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead!
**Always be yourself because the people that matter, don't mind. And the one's that do mind don't matter
